State police are looking for a driver that struck a state police cruiser on the Interstate 84 westbound exit 18 off-ramp in Southbury at a DUI spot check, state police said.
A vehicle struck a cruiser while troopers were conducting a DUI spot check in the area on Jan. 2 at 9 p.m. and the car tried to back off the ramp to avoid the sobriety checkpoint, state police said.
